After 30 Years of Development

After 30 years of development >We still don't know what audio system we should use >We still don't know what display server we should use >We still don't know what widget toolkit we should use >We still don't know what DE we should use >We still don't know what init system we should use And the funniest one >We still haven't figured out what's the best way to install software Should I just get a M2 and wash my hands of this mess?

A Linux penguin sits among scattered tools, an open toolbox, and a damaged computer component. The joke references Linux’s decades-long fragmentation over audio systems, display servers, desktop environments, init systems, software installation, and other technical choices, suggesting that even after 30 years the ecosystem still cannot agree on basic standards. The final line humorously suggests buying an Apple M2 computer to escape the mess. EN: A Linux penguin sits among scattered tools, an open toolbox, and a damaged computer component.
